PC Turning off

[InFerect]

Hello guys, last week I'm coming across this problem, when I am using my computer - when i'm playing games or sometimes just watching a video, my pc freezes and some weird buzzing sounds starts coming out from my headset, and it starts like buzzing non-stop, it does not stop till I turn it off, but lately what started to happen is it just turns offs without any freeze or sound, and other times I get the blue screen and it turns off afterwards, i tried cleaning the dust off my pc to no avail. I don't know what to do, help

Should I replace my HDD?

 

PS during one of these crashes, upon restarting HDD tried to fix itself, but yet still it did not prove to be succesful

Hi and hello again, good to see you, not so good to see you have problems.

 

A few things could be causing it, including the hard drive as well as your suspicion of overheating hence trying the dust clean out.

So lets see what can be found first, if you haven't already got Speccy installed, you can download it from this live link, it downloads straight away.

Once downloaded and installed, it will show us temperatures, and also some of the voltages, copy the temperatures and the voltages and post them for us to look at please.

 

Next thing to look at is the hard drive itself and we need to perform a disk check to check that out and see if there are problems and if they can be repaired.

To save me a lot of typing, performing a disk check is explained here in this Microsoft article, do as it says at the end, check and repair both file system errors and recovery of bad sectors.

You will be asked to restart the computer for it to perform the disk check and fix errors, please do so.

 

Let us know how you get on with that and if any errors are reported as either fixed or not fixed.

 

 

Next thing to look at is to see if the blue screen can stay there long enough for you to write down error numbers.

From first start up before it boots start tapping the F8 key, you should get the advanced boot options screen.

Use the up and down keys to move the highlight down to,

"Disable Automatic Restart on System Failure"

Then press the enter key, it will then boot up into Windows as normal, however the blue screen should stay there long enough for you to write down the error numbers for us.

 

Please carry out all three as above and let us know the results, thanks.

 

Nev.
